My favorite Festivity

I love festivities in general. I'm not one of those that get a little sad when a festivity is coming actually it makes me really happy In spite that in my family we don't celebrate much because on those dates my parents have a lot of work because they are both storekeepers.

But My favorite of all festivities are definitely the National festivities because I love dancing cueca and eating Chilean typical food and at that date I always do those things.

I usually spend that festivity with my family at home most of the time because my father doesn't like "fondas" very much he says that those are full of drunk people that usually get violent. I don't agree completely with that because I love fondas specially those where a band is playing cueca and other kinds of music not very Chilean but very good to dance too.

On september 18th we usually stay at home and eat "empanadas" and my mom makes a barbecue. And in the evening we go with my little niece to the country side so she can fly a kite or a few because she always loses them.

On September 19th my father doesn't work and we always watch the military parade. He gets very nostalgic when this happens because he used to parade when he studied at the air force's speciality school.

But last year I celebrated in a special way because I wasn't at home I was here in Santiago the first days of the festivity and I spent it with my college friends who couldn't travel to their hometowns.

We went to Huaso Carlo that is a traditional bar and restaurant and we had a great time in there.

This year I would love to learn how to dance cueca better and maybe to compite, and I want to have my own costume.
